You mean an exception to the exception to the usual behaviour that
R-Car <foo>3 is part of the R-Car Gen3 family, making it the normal
rule? ;-)

We're actually not 100% sure the bit is present or not. Rev. 0.50 is
still an early revision of the R-Car V3U documentation, so it might lack
some updates. I tried changing all bits of the PHYCNT register, but
unfortunately all bits except for bit 31 stick on all SoCs I tried, so
we can't use this method to determine which bits exist and which don't.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
